1 - PROLOG
The program distributor, John Newlin, is an active member of the
Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP). The ASP wants to make
sure that the Shareware principle works for you. If you are unable to
resolve a Shareware related problem with an ASP member by contacting the
member directly, ASP may be able to help. The ASP Ombudsman can help you
resolve a dispute or problem with an ASP member, but does not provide
technical support for members' products. Please write to the ASP
Ombudsman at P.O. Box 5786, Bellevue, WA 98006 or send a Compuserve
message via EASYPLEX to ASP Ombudsman 70007,3536.
DISCLAIMER
New-Ware hereby disclaims all warranties relating to this product,
whether express or implied, including without limitation any implied
warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. New-
Ware cannot and will not be liable for any special, incidental,
consequential, indirect or similar damages due to loss of data or any
other reason, even if New-Ware or an authorized New-Ware agent has been
advised of the possibility of such damages. In no event shall the
liability for any damages ever exceed the price paid for the license to
use software, regardless of the form and/or extent of the claim. The
user of this program bears all risk as to the quality and performance of
the software.
LICENSE
PowerChess is a Shareware product. As such, it is made available to
the general computing public for evaluation. Users are licensed to
operate PowerChess on their personal computers for the purpose of test
and evaluation on a trial basis for a limited trial period. It is not
possible to reasonably define any definitive limits of a fair and
equitable time period for evaluation, therefore it is left to the user's
judgement and sense of fair play as to the time required to make a
decision as to its usefulness. If the user decides the program is not
of sufficient merit to warrant purchase through registration with New-
Ware, the program should be removed from their personal computer.
Otherwise, if the program is deemed useful and is in regular use on the
user's personal computer system, registration with New-Ware is required.
Registered users are those users that elect to pay for PowerChess
and register that payment with New-Ware. By virtue of registration and
payment for the program, registered users are granted a license to
continue to utilize the program on their personal computer for as long
as they choose. This license authorizes the user to use the program on
any personal computer system he or she may own so long as the program is
operated on only one computer system at a time. The registration fee
for PowerChess is $30.00.
2 - REGISTRATION
PowerChess is distributed by New-Ware Shareware products. The
Shareware version may be freely copied and transferred to individual
parties for evaluation purposes. It may be posted on Bulletin Board
systems (BBS) for electronic access as long as NO FEE is charged for its
distribution except for private BBS operations that charge a regular
user subscription fee. Computer information services such as SUMMIT,
Compuserve (CIS), Genie, etc., are authorized to post this product for
subscriber access. PowerChess may NOT be distributed on diskette by any
disk distributor/vendor that charges more than $12.00 for the diskette
upon which the program and attendant files are recorded without written
consent from New-Ware.
PowerChess is a fully functional Shareware product. Shareware is a
computer program distribution/marketing method that permits potential
buyers to thoroughly try the program prior to purchase. It is NOT free
and it is not in the Public Domain. If, after evaluating the program,
you find it to be useful enough to use it on a regular basis, you are
expected to pay for it by registering with New-Ware. The registration
fee is $35.00 and the registered version, which is NOT distributed as
Shareware, will not contain the opening Shareware screen nor the closing
messages.
The Shareware version of Powerchess is distributed with a library of
30 pre-programmed opening moves. Registered copies are distributed with
a library of 280 opening moves. The registered opening move library is
dynamic in that is is constantly growing. It is expected that this
library will eventually increase to over 1000 moves. Registered users
may upgrade to a later (larger) opening move library by contacting
New-Ware Shareware products. A shipping and handling fee of $5.00 is
required library updates.
You may register PowerChess in one of three ways:

the latest registered version within 1 day after leaving their credit

registered version by BBS, but you MUST log on and leave a comment to
the sysop to the effect that you are a registered user and desire
access. New-Ware (John Newlin) may also be contacted on CIS via

to other individual users for their evaluation. Disk vendors and/or
distributors that desire to distribute PowerChess must adhere to the
guidelines presented in VENDOR.DOC.

fill out a registration form and send it to your printer. Prompts will
be issued for the pertinent information and you will have the option of
printing the registration form when the form is completed.

I support my software. One of the great strengths of the Shareware
concept is the interaction between the program author and the users.
Many of the features contained in PowerChess are the result of user
input. If you have a problem evaluating this program or desire to make
a suggestion or comment (or even a complaint), please do not hesitate to
contact me. Even if you register PowerChess, if you later determine that
it is unsuitable for your use, you may contact me for a refund. It is
not necessary that you be a registered user to contact me for technical
support. Technical support will be available through the U.S mail,
telephone, or the New-Ware BBS.
